Previously disclosed methods or devices to construct or improve the construction of devices for vibrator devices particularly adapted for producing and applying vibratory forces to one or more bodies or one or more test bodies for test purposes or measurement purposes have used methods or devices that produce and apply vibratory forces that are not supersonic shock-waves.
Methods for construction of devices that produce supersonic shock-wave vibratory forces by using cavitating spaces within fluid water within glass housings driven by piezoelectric drivers have been described in print (Scientific American 272:2 February, 1995 pages 46-51 and 96-98/Science News 147:17 Apr. 29, 1995 pages 266-267).
The art related problem of improving vibrator devices particularly adapted for producing and applying vibratory forces to one or more bodies or one or more test bodies for any test purposes or any measuring purposes is solved by the presently disclosed method of utilizing vibrator devices that produce vibratory forces that are supersonic shock-waves.
The object of the presently disclosed invention is to provide a method of constructing vibrator devices particularly adapted for producing and applying vibratory forces to one or more bodies or one or more test bodies for measuring purposes or testing purposes.
The presently disclosed invention reveals the method of using a cavitating spaces within fluids within housings to produce supersonic shock-wave vibratory forces to be applied by coupling to one or more bodies or one or more test bodies for measuring purposes or test purposes.
The general idea or substance of the presently disclosed invention is that one or more supersonic shock-wave vibrations are produced by one or more cavitating spaces within one or more fluids within one or more housings.
Vibratory force that is a supersonic shock-wave is transmitted through or reflected from or refracted by bodies or test bodies in a manner unlike vibratory force that is not a supersonic shock-wave.
Supersonic shock-wave vibratory force is a limiting form of vibratory force.
Supersonic shock-wave vibration is of a duration that allows supersonic shock-wave vibratory forces to be produced singularly or in trains at any rate up to and including ultrasonic rates.
The method of utilizing one or more supersonic shock-wave vibratory forces produced by one or more cavitating spaces within one or more fluids within one or more housings is therefore an improvement of the art of methods for producing vibrator devices that are particularly adapted for producing and applying vibratory forces for any testing purposes or any measuring purposes.

Also shown are devices for temporal control and spatial control of the cavitating spaces and the display, recording, analysis, display of analysis and recording of analysis of information about the temporal and spatial control.
